Vitality score

Vitality score 27.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 47 % of the 17,545 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 4.9

Days at or below 0 °C 27.2

Muggy days a summer 1.6

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 27 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the BAINGHEN_SAPC weather station, 7.6 km away at 117 m; the village itself is at 112 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at DESVRES, 9.5 km away at 185 m, over 12 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 73 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,136 mm of rain a year, spread over 149 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at BAINGHEN_SAPC, 7.6 km away at 117 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

…and in much the same climate

The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Lottinghen's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
